HHI training is built on the decades of clinical expertise and real-world experience of Dr. Angela DeRosa, whose work both at her own clinics and as a leader in the field has shaped how hormone therapy is practiced and taught today. More than theory and isolated protocols, emphasis is on patient evaluation, lab interpretation, risk management, and sound clinical judgment. Training includes structured online didactic education, competency-based assessments, optional hands-on procedural training, and ongoing clinical and operational support through the Clinicians Companion Annual Certification Program. The result is training grounded in decades of practice, not trends, and designed to prepare clinicians to deliver hormone therapy safely, confidently, and responsibly.
